    horrible waffle
    Paula L.

    The atmosphere is awesome. There's a beautiful outside seating area that's well done with Adirondack chairs and picnic benches and tables. Pretty plants and flowers. Came around 9:00pm on a Saturday for some dessert. We decided to grab a burger and chicken sandwich with fries. the food was good. The dessert was really bad. got a waffle with chocolate ice cream. They put it in the bag with the hot food. It was immediately melted and weird. I asked for more ice cream and they did it. No problem. The waffle was like a brick. Very strange. I would suggest people go there for the food and forget the dessert.

    Love love LOVE it here! This is the perfect post beach eat seeing that it's only about two blocks from the beach. You may have trouble finding parking close by but I promise it's all worth the search around the block. Callie's is fenced in and it gives off park vibes ( lots of room if you want to bring your dog, I guess) . Theres plenty of picnic tables with umbrellas for shade and lawn chairs too. Definitely a Covid-19 friendly spot considering all seating is located outdoors. As you enter you'll see a window where you order your food/drinks. I had the fish and chips as well as the sweet chili crispy cauliflower...The cauliflower was divine. Had the right amount of crunch, and (since I like to smell my food as much as I like to eat it) I would like to note that the spicy (not too spicy) aroma tingled my nose in the most satisfying, dreamy way. Anyway, the fish and chips was pretty awesome. The fries were perfect too. This was one of those meals where I get full half way, but power through to the end because the food is too good to let it get cold/go to waste. Now the cherry on top is that there is (a bathroom) a bar on the opposite side of where you order your food and regular drinks. They have this delicious frozen strawberry lemonade that they sell for $5 a cup, $10 if you wanna add some alcohol. I also must mention the wonderful selection of sauces they have, but you will need to ASK for them. The tartar sauce didn't come with my fish and chips, but don't worry it and the rest of the condiments are free. I def will be coming back soon!

    Home Callie's home So I grew up on the beach, and always seek places that make me feel at home. It's almost like this place was made for me. Not only is the bar a 5 min walk from the ocean, its as local feeling as they come. As in, the local softball game we just passed let out, and both teams showed up for a round, kinda local. Again, my kinda place Walking in, you'll find a bunch of picnic-style tables, and Adirondack chairs, along with a small fire pit that wasn't lit the night we stopped in (LOVE a fire pit). You order food at the counter closest to 129th and pay, and grab a table. If you're like me, you'll head to the other side of the little building and order a drink at the bar (same building, not the same window). Yes, they have a little outdoor bar with a few large TVs that play local games (the Yankees were on when we were having a light dinner and happy hour drinks). The patio on by the bar also has a deck, which I imagine is nice when it's wet (the main area is ground). The bar slings cocktails, frozen drinks, homemade hard ice tea, and also has little coolers outside where you can just grab a beer and let the bartender know. I love this - the bartender was on break, I grabbed a claw and nodded to her. Felt just like I was home. Decent enough food (I had fish n chips), reasonably priced drinks, and a killer vibe, if you're looking for a spot to get off the beach and grab a beer, look no further.

    Really pathetic excuse for a sandwich

    See all

    Could you be any less friendly when dishing out your mediocre food? Nice patio but no reason to come here.

    My family & I have been coming here forever (since I was a kid). It seems that my whole life, my…read moremom had purchased all her Boars Head cold cuts here. You would think no one can get cold cuts wrong, but add to it that there is no attitude or airs or haughtiness or the famous Rockaway cliquiness in here. I've ordered the whole ball of fresh mozzarella many times. It's excellent. I am shocked at how good the meat sauce is in their fridge. The young woman who checks you out at the cashier is always super friendly. It's refreshing & very normal. Other spots in town are notorious for attitude & shady behavior, but not here. What a pleasant experience to trust the quality & service in here our entire lives. It's about time that so said it in appreciation for my super thin sliced salami! Thanks for your service & mannerisms!

    Went here for the first time since management changed and I doubt I will be returning…read more It always takes a while to order food and wait for it to be made on a nice summer day since everyone is getting sandwiches for the beach. I was expecting that, that is fine. But when its been 45 minutes, everyone who was after us has already gotten their food and left, and after repeatedly asking the staff what was going on and being ignored, finding out its been sitting on the counter the entire time and the cashier never saw it... YEAH, that is absurd. On top of that, we got no apology, no discount, no NOTHING. They just stared at us like they couldn't have given a shit less. F this place.
